I'll give you a clue because I am wary of doing others' homework for them.

There are 2 possible solutions:

1) The number of faces is odd so it must have a base and an apex.

If one face is its base, there must be 4 more faces. Seems familiar?

If the two statements above are right the base must be a quadrilateral of some sort.

you should now be able to deduce what it is - and so count the edges!

2) Let us suppose it has no apex but is all edges. Then it must have 2 ends, rather than an end and an apex.

So that leaves the ends joined by 3 faces.

Which rather limits the number of edges on each end.

You should now be able to deduce that too!

What figure has twice as many edges as faces?

A polyhedron that has twice as many edges as faces is known as a triangular prism. In a triangular prism, there are 5 faces (two triangular bases and three rectangular lateral faces) and 9 edges. This means the number of edges (9) is indeed twice the number of faces (5), satisfying the condition of having twice as many edges as faces.
